Mind...over....matter!

Betcha can't guess what' this blog's gonna be about?!
So we've all heard the phrase, "Oh, it's just a matter of mind over matter". But what does that mean?
That means that our good ol' brains are actually able to confuse themselves into believing that something that isn't happening is. It's crazy, really.
I mean if our brains can tell the rest of our body that it's sick, when really it's healthy, what else is the human brain capable of?
Isn't it, and I could be wrong here, that we only use like 10% of our brains? So if we actually starting using the other 90% we could be superhumans and have special talents, or whatever!
Really, think about it. My favorite example of mind over matter is when people are given drinks that they believe to be alcholic (even if there isn't even a drop of alcohol in it) and then they act drunk. I think it's the most amusing thing in the world, that their mind doesn't check and see if it really is under any influences, it just assumes.
What would happen if there were to be another ban on liquor? To prevent any underground collections, all the government has to do is tell the people that there is still alcohol in their drinks, and no one would know the difference. Well, okay some will probably figure it out.
Makes me think about what else my mind is trivking me about, the human brain is such a complex thing that really it's amazing us ape descendants managed to figure out whats real, and what's not.
But, my question for you, is what if what we think is reality really isn't? What if it's a mind over matter thing, and reallity is really suckish so our mind convinces us that this is reallity? Crazy, I know, but you know I do have a point.
